She knows why the caged bird sings

"I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" is a dramatic coming-of-age, autobiographical book by Maya Angelou. It revolves around the lives of the African-American community in Southern USA of the 1930s. This book is really good, and it helps the reader to learn the history of the blacks in the United States.

The story is written by Angelou about her childhood and young adulthood. It is mainly set in California and Arkansas. The young aged Maya Angelou experiences racism anyplace she goes, and sometimes it's even harder than it sounds. Her personal story emphasizes how hard it was to live in such a racist world.

Angelou also shows the other, brighter side – she managed to find her place in life with a group of multicultural teenagers near San Francisco, which gave her the feelings of relevance. Angelou tries to convey a message; we are all equal, and if we all learn that skin color means literally nothing, the world would be a much better place to live in.

To sum up, I recommend you to read this fascinating, interesting book. Even if you don't feel interested in the subject of discrimination, you can enjoy the writer's thrilling adventures and listen to her different and personal stories she have chosen to tell to the world.
